For anyone newly dealing with recurrent cold sores
If you are new to this, the two things I wish I had known sooner: it is extremely common, and it is far more of a prevention problem than a treatment one. You are not doing anything wrong. Ask anything here, this is a support space, and for a clinical read you can always use the Clinic.
Thank you for saying it is a prevention problem. I spent years just reacting to them.
Great thread, learning a lot here.
Reflected sun off the water caught me out on holiday last year. Lesson learned.
